Ina communication from Constantinople, dated August 4, 'we have the following account of the losses and wrongs Buartained by Mr. Churchill from the Turkish Government : " The courier said to be expected by the Embassy has "not yet made hi s appearance , an d un til h e arr i ve L or d Pon -8,-TIbY will, I conc l u d e , h ave no thi ng muc h to d o i n M r . Churchill's case. In the meantime, Mr. Churchill has ad dressed a letter to the Ambassador on the extent of his losses and sacrifices, in consequence of the treatment he re ceived, and as he has declined to name a sum which would compensate him, it is likely that the matter will be referred 1 ° a Committee or Jury of British and Foreign merchants of the hi • ohest respectability. The claim in this shape will then be submitted to the approbation of his Majesty's Mi nisters, wh o w ill g i ve t h e i r or d ers. If Mr. Churchill, who will leave the country in all probability, had demanded the eaPital, representing a net benefit of upwards of one thou z•liand Pounds a year, his usual gains, the amount would be e avY even for the Turkish Government, which, with all 1 -48 erY of poverty, is yet amazingly rich. The Turks have be a'red very infatnously towards Mr. Churchill from the first to the present moment.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO. INSTRUCTIONS FROM COUNT NESSELRODE TO M. DE SEVERIN, ENVOY OF' RUSSIA TO THE SWISS CONFEDERATION. ST. PETERSBUROII, JAN. 14, 1827. _ SlR,—The confidence which the Emperor reposes in you calls you to the honour of representing him in Switzerland ; and herewith you will receive the letters which accredit you to the authorities of that country. It is unnecessary to add instructions to these letters. Your long labours in the de partment of Foreign Affairs, the services which you have ren dered in that departtnent, the knowledge which you have thus acquired of the principles which govern the policy of the Rus sian Cabinet, relieve us from the necessity of explaining to you those general maxims, with which you have been long imbued, and which you have, moreover, studied with a view to their particular application to Switzerland, from the time when I had the pleasure of announcing to you your new and honourable destination. If, then, at the moment of your de parture, we trace for you a rapid sketch of the intentions of his Imperial Majesty in regard to his relations with the Hel. vetic Confederation, it is less with the view of giving you directions than in order to afford you, by expressing to you the wishes of our august master, a proof of the kind interest which he will always feel for you. By her geographical position, Switzerland is the key of three great countries. Her intelligence and her character give her a distinguished rank in the scale of European civi lization. Finally, by the acts of the Congress of Vienna and of Paris, she has obtained a guarantee for her present organi sation, for her neutrality, and for her independence. These few words suffice to point out the interests over which you will have to watch, in the exercise of your functions. From the time that diplomacy, taking a part in the amelio rations of every kind which were taking place in Europe, made it the aim of its deepest and most useful combinations to establish among the different Powers such an equilibrium as might secure the continuance of peace, the independence of Switzerland became one of the first axioms of policy. It was consecrated by the Treaties of Westphalia ; and it is easy to prove from history, that it has never been violated without Europe having to deplore universal wars and calamities. At the time of the French Revolution, Switzerland sensibly felt the shock which convulsed the two hemispheres. Her ter ritory was invaded, armies passed through it, and battles de luged with blood a soil which the discords of the States had long respected. At the time of the dominion of Buonaparte, Swit zerland had her share of the despotism which reigned over the continent. Finally appeared the alliance with its noble triumphs ; and Switzerland, which had been overthrown during the revo- , lutionary storm, and enslaved during the reign of conquest, became once snore independent and neutral, from the day when the rights of nations recovered their empire, and when peace was the wish of the Monarch, of whom this change was the salutary work. It was then that the Helvetic Confederacy occupied the mind of the Emperor Alexander, of glorious memory ; and then, also, that its independence received a solemn sanction by the acts of 1814 and 1815, which completed and secured the firm re-establishment of general tranquillity. One may, consequently, assert that Switzerland is one of the points upon which the equilibrium of Europe depends ; the form of political existence which she enjoys constitutes one of the elements of the conservative system, which has succeeded thirty years of storms; and it must be the desire of Russia that this State should continue to cling to and depend upon no other system. She is interested in this, as a power, whose principles and whose sense of her own welfare incline her to wish for peace. She has a right to be so, as a power who has signed the acts of 1814 and 1815. These considerations will guide you, Sir, in your relations with the Federal authorities. You will find no difficulty in convincing the Magistrates and the most influential men in Switzerland, that our wishes will always be in accordance with their's, for the maintenance of the political prcrogativesof their country; that the solicitude with which she inspires the Em peror is hereditary, and that, in order to be conformable to the wishes of our august Monarch, the relations which you are charged to maintain with her must be relations of friendship and of mutual confidence. But it is not only the external independence of the Helvetic Confederacy, for which the acts of 1814 and 1815 have stipu lated. Like all other countries, Switzerland could not avoid the struggle which the French Revolution has created be tween old and new ideas. The principles which constitute its Government have felt its effects. A more equal division of power between the different Cantons of which it is composed was the necessary consequence of this influence • and, from the epoch when Switzerland placed herself under the liberating banners of the Allies in 1813, it became evident that the internal organisation which had formerly existed there would be no longer applicable ; that the last twenty years had brought to light interests which justly claimed respect; and that a wise compromise between the past and the present could alone restore peace and happi ness to these countries. This was effected ; the basis of a new Federal Convention was laid; and this Convention, formally guaranteed by the treaties concluded at the Congress of 1815, and thenceforth as inviolable as these treaties themselves, was for the future to be considered as forming an integral part of the new European system. Russia, then, is under the obligation of contributing, as much as she possibly can, (but without exercising a right of interference, which she will never assume, in affairs which do not directly concern her), to the stability of the present regime of Switzerland ; and your first care, Sir, must be to prove that Russia acknowledges and fulfils this obligation. Your ex planations on this subject with your colleagues, the represen tatives of other Courts, as well as with the functionaries of the country, must be as positive as the clauses to %those au thority you are to appeal. They will leave no doubt, with regard to the intention of the Emperor, that the Helvetic Confederacy should .maintain itself and prosper, such as it has been definitively constituted by the acts of 1814 and 1815. But Switzerland is threatened by two dangers, of which our wish to co-operate in her welfare induces us to warn her, through your agency, and with perfect frankness. Placed in the midst of States where the leaven of revolution still fer ments; between Piedmont, where the events of 1821 have but too clearly revealed the secret and the power of a party, the enemy of all legitimate order ; France, where numberless ex citers of disturbances are active in diffusing the spirit which agitates . themselves ; and the South of Germany, where are to be found the ramifications of the same plot ; Switzerland, with her Republican forms, will always have to fear that these miserable men will seek to establish in her bosom the focus of their guilty activity, and that, reckoning upon the institutions by which she is governed, and upon the neutrality of her ter ritory, they may flatter themselves with being able to prepare there, without interruption, for the accomplishment of the plots which they form against nations and Kings. The attention of the principal Cabinets of Europe has been already drawn to this danger by the representations of the Sar dinian Government at the Congress of Verona. They pointed out the serious inconvenience that would ensue from the sojourn in Switzerland of men obliged to fly from a coun try whose ruin they had conspired ; and the Protocols of the Congress, s s well as the subsequent decisions of the Con ference of Paris, have laid down principles with regard to these points; which the Helvetic authorities cannot apply too scru pulously or too strictly. We must here do them the justice to say, that the steps taken towards them, in consequence of the wishes expressed by the Court of Turin, have been crowned with success ; that all the representations of your predecessors, on this occasion, and in several cases of a similar description, have met with a favourable reception ; and that the answers which ho has transmitted to us on the subject of the communications with which he was charged concerning the discovery, the judgment, and the punishment of the horrible plot which had been formed in Russia, breathed sentiments, the expression of which is ho nourable to the views and spirit of the federal government. But, at the same time, we must say, that the apprehensions of the States friendly to peace, with regard to the revolutionary plots which were carried on in Switzerland, are not yet en tirely dissipated ; and though no decided proof has yet at tested that she is, without her own knowledge, perhaps, the centre of secret societies which meditate insurrection and re gicide, it is, nevertheless, true that repeated warnings, and presumptive evidence of more than one kind, do not allow us to regard this opinion as devoid of all foundation. You will not fail, Sir, to observe, with an attentive,eye, any indications of this new danger. You will not fail to point it out to the vigilance of those magistrates whose duty it is to prevent it. Declare to them, with that energy which the knowledge of good and pure intentions inspires, that, as a pledge for the stability and prosperity of Switzerland, her existence must be inoffensive. Make them understand that it would no longer bear this character, if Helvetic liberty were to further the ef fbrts of the genius of revolution ; if the causes of the uneasi ness which is manifested were not sifted to the bottom ; if the friendly voice of the Cabinets which express it were not listened to. Finally, you are to remark to them, and to all those who preserve a sincere patriotism in Switzerland, that the interests which they have most at heart, the interests of ' their independence and of their national institutions, are in accordance with our counsels ; that Switzerland would be the first victim of the machinations, whose progress she had im prudently allowed ; that a frightful democracy would take place of the wisdom and intelligence of the government which now presides over our destinies : it is, then, of urgent neces sity to probe the wound, and to heal it, to take account of all criminal plots, and to suppress them with energy. Add to this, that on these conditions Switzerland may feel sure of finding in the Emperor Nicholas the affectionate senti ments of the Emperor Alexander, the same support in the day of danger, the same resolution to guarantee to her the peace able enjoyment of the rights accorded to her by treaties. If this language should rally well-intentioned men, if it should encourage them to extend with all their power the influence of the moderate opinions which they profess, and to oppose the progress of the spirit of change and disorder, the good cause, and the Helvetic c on f e d eracy itself, will be indebted to you for a great service. The Emperor is not ignorant that, in some of the Cantons, symptoms of another threatening re-action have been remarked, and it appears beyond a doubt, that a party exists there which endeavours to modify the present, not in order to effect inno vations, but to recall the past, and to revive the forms of ad ministration and the constitution which governed Switzerland nearly forty years ago. His. Imperial Majesty can no more fa vour such intentions as these, than the attempts which we have mentioned above. The policy Russia is to be found entire of in her treaties and in a juste milieu between extreme opinions. Now, these treaties do, not allow of this retrograde march, which, under the present circumstances in which Switzerland is placed, would itself be a revolution ; and, besides, it would be vain to endeavour to conceal from one's-self that such pro jects, the abuse of all that is most sacred among men, of a re ligion c..wntially Conservative, in order to spread them, the means put in operation to induce those Governments to accede to them, or in order to execute them in spite of their opposition, would directly lead Europe to the results prepared fQr her by the labours of the revolutionists, and that to encourage the for mer would be to assist the latter. _ Thus, Sir, you will show equal disapprobation of that ten dency which has the triumph of democracy for its aim ; and of that whose object is to re-establish in Switzerland an order. of things which henceforth would not be consonant either with her wishes or her wants, or with those ants which have pacified the world. Such are the instructions which the Emperor has desired us to address to you ; we have limited ourselves to general obser vations, because at this moment we have no particular interest to discuss, no special negociation to pursue, with the Helvetic confederacy. It will not be difficult for you to show that the orders with which you are furnished are dictated by a sincere and lively desire to secure the tranquillity and prosperity of Switzerland ; and you will perceive, Sir, that they confer a real importance upon your functions. This importance is still farther aug mented, if we consider that you are about to occupy a post, where the South of Germany, the North of Italy, and the Eastern provinces of France, will be under your eye ; and where, indeed, they ought constantly to excite your attention ; and from whence you cannot but find occasions of transmitting to us useful informatian. We doubt not but that you will prove yourself deserving of the confidence of his Imperial Majesty, and, like your prede cessor, you will acquire, in the execution of the duties of your office, new claims to the approbation and to the esteem of our August Sovereign. Receive, &c. (Signed) NESSELRODE. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 ) . IS3(. MONEY MARKET. (From the Times.) The system pursued of late by the Bank for the pur pose of making money scarce, is at length beginning to produce a very decided effect on the markets for all public securities, which appeared at first to be wholly removed from its influence. Those who have relied on the conti nuance of the old system, and have entered, with that re liance, into very extensive engagements, are compelled, on finding that resource cut off, to seek for assistance where ever they they can find it. This is necessarily bringing forward for sale large investments of stock belonging to the parties or to their connexions, and which was conceived by . them, not anticipating such a change, to have been laid up for a permanency. This is more particularly shown in the large proportion which has been brought to market, both to-day and yesterday, of the 31 per Cents., a stock which is usually selected for fixed investments. Money, for the re-employment of which any prospect exists, is generally placed by preference in the Three per Cents., becauie, though they do not yield so much in interest, large sales may at any time be effected in them without materially influencing the price. In this denomination of stock, how ever, the sales have been very large. That they have not fallen to the same extent as the 31 per Cents , is to be ex plained by the circumstance just adverted to. Besides sales of stock large amounts have been pledged for short periods, and money has also been raised to a considerable extent on Exchequer Bills, for which 5 per cent. has been paid, though the current rate which those securities bear is only 24 per cent. It is by such expedients alone that they are kept in circulation without a decline in price much below par ; but, unless some favourable change take place, that cannot long avail them. They have been sold at par repeatedly in the course of the day, and should a decline to 2s. or 3s. discount only occur, they will be paid in for duties, to the great embarassment of the Government. It is understood in the city that Mr. Spring Rice has been sent for from Ireland, to determine on the measures to be adopted on the approaching emergency. The holders of those Exchequer Bills which fall due at the end of this month have still several days before they can be called upon to declare whether they will take money or new bills in exchange for them ; and in the present state of the market they of course delay that determination as long as they can, unless the Bank Directors volunteer their influence to help the Ministers over the present difficulty, which they cannot do without great inconvenience; and, without acting at variance with the system on which, in other respects, they are prdeeeding, the Exchequer Bill Market cannot possibly be maintained. In commercial discounts nothing less than 5 per cent. is charged on the best paper, and &land 5} per cent. has been currently obtained. Here the withdrawal of the operation of the usury laws from bills of short dates comes with ad vantage into play. The dealer in money heretofore could only indemnify himself when money was worth more than 5 per cent. by charging a commission on the bills dis counted, which pressed much heavier in proportion on the short bills than the present higher rate of interest does. (From the Morning Post.) Sales of English Stock continue to be made by parties anticipating an increased demand for money, and a conse quent reduction in prices, that may enable them to re invest at a considerable profit. The market has closed, therefore, at a further depreciation of -4- per cent. Consols were last done at 904- to 8 Money, and w a for the Ac count ; Exchequer Bills at Is. to 3s. Premium, and India Bonds at ss. to 4s. Discount. It is proper to state here that some very vigorous steps have been taken to avert or mitigate the apprehended scarcity of money. 'The following is an instance : All bills accepted to-day by Baring and Co. were re turned with a note appended to them, stating that, if pre sented within certain specified hours on a future day, they would be discounted by that house at four and a half per cent. It is understood in the commercial world that this will for some time to come be the established system of this eminent mercantile firm. (From the Morning He, aid.) There has been no material alteration in character of the Money Market, for commercial purposes ; all p art i es a re still looking, however, with the, deepest interest t o t h e proceedings of the Bank of England Direction, who are understood to have again rejected some eminent paper, on the score that the firm whese names were attached to th e bills, were in some degree connected with American m one y t ra nsactions. How far the Bank Direction are justifi e d i n this individual 'selection, they will have to answer for else where. A few months, nay a few w eeks , will probably show whether the Bank of England D irection have been acting from the impulse of honest principles. We should remark, however, that the extreme extent to which the in troduction of American paper has acted on the London market, now requires all the skill of the Bank Parlou r to hedge themselves against consequences, of which they alone were, as we have proved, the, original cause. (From the Morning Chronicle.) A very trifling alteration in the foreign exchanges is noted to-day. So far us it goes, however, it tends to add to the slow current of improvement which has gradually manifested itself during the last fortnight or three Weeks. Business in the Exchange was rendered much less active, in consequence of the absence of the Jewish capitalists, who were 'restrizined from attendance by their observance of the religious festival by which they mark the commencement of the new year.

E. L., is instinct with all the fascinating attributes of her genius and of her style. The same grace, the same delicacy, the same pure and feminine feelibg, which captivated the ima gination, and seduced the judgment, in ' Francesca Carrara,' may be traced throughout the Traits and Trials of Early Life.' The enchantress has changed her robe, but retained her wand,' and the reader who has once sighed, or smiled, or glowed, or shuddered under its magic influence; as displayed in her mightier efforts, will recognise the softened agency of the same power, in the unambitious and affecting narratives which this volume offers."—Morning Post. The pvtblie will do well to be on their guard against a practice which we hear is now prevalent, of passing off gilt farthings for sovereigns. Last week, the wife of a market gardener in Canter bury, absconded with her paramour, a bricklayer, and was seen on the top of the Herne Bay coach. The husband was noticed by a lady in a post-chaise to be running by the side of it—she, fearing some design Against her, desired the driver to ask him his reason for so doing, when he told her of his wife's conduct, and his desire to rescue her from her seducer before the steam-boat went off ; the lady desired him to get upon the carriage, and the coachman to drive as speedily as possible. The injured husband arrived in time to intercept his wife's flight, and, after some hesitation, she consented to return to her home and family. Her seducer, after walking about be fore the house until a late hour, returned to his wife and seven children. —Kentish Chronicle. The premium on Exchecjuer Bills is at present lower than it has been for some time past ; it is said to be not unlikely that the interest on those per day will be raised from lid. to 2d. On the 22d instant a sum of 10 millions will bo required to pay them off. DISPATCH, PERMANENTLY ENLARGED AND REDUCED IN PRICE.—On the 18th of September the Dispatch, --the most popular Journal in England, circulating 30,000 copies per week—will be enlarged to the extent allowed by the new Stamp Act, and reduced in price from Bid. to 6d. It will contain 48 columns, and will be so arranged as to enable purchasers, without detriment to the annual binding of this Journal in an entertaining and useful volum6, to divide the sheet, so as to accommodate three readers at the same time. In this alteration the proprietors give to their numerous friends more than the entire advantage of the reduction of the Stamp Duty. .That reduction, is nominally from fourpence to one penny ; but as a considerable discount has been hitherto al lowed by Government for spoilt stamps, which is now to be withheld, the real reduction is not more than tv\opence far thing. While, therefore, the proprietors of the Dispatch sub stract from the price of their Journal more than is taken from the Stamp Duty, they will at the same time constantly give four additional pages. In fact, subscribers will have , e ver y week, an enlarged .Dispatch for Sixpence. This Journal has_ long been known as the undeviating . advocate of the rights of the people.

The principal vocalists arc Madame Malibran De Beriot, Ma dame Caradori Allan, Mademoiselle Assandri, Mrs. H. R. Bishop, Mrs. W. Knyvett, Mrs. A. Shaw, Miss Clara Novell° Mr. Braham, Mr. H. Phillips, Mr. Ter rail, Mr. Machin, Mr. Bennett, Lablache, and Ivanhoff. The band includes every name of note in the profession. We find amongst the violins, Blagrove, Ella, Tolbecque, Wag staff, and thirty others ; tenors, Moralt, Sherrington, Cal kin, Dando, and thirteen others ; violoncellos, Lindley the veteran, and son, Hatton, Lucas, Crouch, and five others ; double basSes, Dragonetti, Howell, and eight others ; flutes, Nicholson, Card, and two others ; oboes, G.

Smithies, senior and junior, Bean, and another ; and double drums—making a total of upwards of a hundred instrumentalists. F. Cramer is the leader of the morning performances, and Mori leads the evening concerts, at which De Beriot mill perform. Mr. Wilkinson, the organist of St. Peter's Church, a native of this town, presides at the organ. Sir G. Smart will officiate at the pianoforte, and the whole musical arrangements are conducted by him. To'morrow morning the musical entertainments begin at the Collegiate Church. After Attwood's Coronation Anthem, the whole of Haydn's Creation will be done. In the second part there will be a selection from Mozart's .Requiem, H. R. Bishop's Cantata of The Seventh Day, and single pieces by Malibran, Mrs. A. Shaw, and Lablache. In the evening a miscellaneous concert will take place in the Theatre Royal. On Wednesday morning the select tions at the Church will be principally from Handel's Jephtlia, Solomon, and Israel in Egypt; Spohr's Cantata of the Christian's Prayer will also be performed, for the first time in this country. In the evening there will be the second miscellaneous concert. On Thursday morning The. Messiah will be presented in its entire state, and on the same night the last concert will be given. The musical performances will terminate on Friday morning at the Collegiate Church, with Beethoven's oratorio of The Mount of Olives, Sphor's Last Judgment, a selection from Cud more's oratorio of Martyr of Antioch, and a few other gleanings. The fancy ball on the same night will terminate this great meeting. _ _ Sept. 13, Four o'clock, A. M. A grand rehearsal took place yesterday morning at the Collegiate Church, and the result was satisfactory to all the parties concerned. The ball at the Assembly Rooms yesterday was numerously attended. The Duke of Bruns wick was present, and whilst we write this the dancing is still going on to Adams's quadrille band with infinite spirit. Mr. Graham, the aeronaut, did not make his promised ascent yesterday, owing to a deficiency in the supply of gas. The Vauxhall Gardens at Collyhurst, about two miles from the town, were crowded with spectators, and there could not have been less than 12,000 persons outside the grounds. At seven o'clock, when all hopes of obtaining a sufficient supply of gas had been given over, Mr. Graham addressed the multitude, and requested their indulgence until the next day, when he positively pledged himself to ascend. This appeal of the aeronaut was considered to be merely " wild and . windy words," and • loud demands were made for the return of the money taken at the doors. The request not being complied with immediately, the windows of the pub lic-house to which the gardens are attached were all broken, and there were evident symptoms of - further acts of aggres sion, when the landlord came forward, and offered the re turn of the money, or admissions for the ensuing day. The compromise was accepted, and the mob then quietly dis persed. It is positively affirmed that the Duke of Bruns wick, who was on the ground, intended to accompany Mr. Graham, and it is anticipated that he will carry is resolu tion into effect this day. The streets all yesterday presented the most animated appearance. MURDER. (From the Bath Gazette.) BRISTOL, SEPT. 12.—We regret to state that the imme diate neighbourhood of our city has been made the scene of as brutal and cold-blooded a murder, as any which disgrace our criminal annals. On arriving the officers found the lifeless body of a respectably dressed female. Her death appeared to have been caused by her havir ' , received the contents of a pistol at the back of her head. The slugs with which the pistol had been loaded had entered just above the nape of the neck, and made their way through the brain upwards and forwards, until stopped by the frontal bone. The landlord informed the officers that, be tween one and two o'clock on that day (Saturday), the female in question (who was about forty-five years of age), together with a young man attired in a white hat, plaid waistcoat and trousers, striped shirt, and dark coat, came to his house, and called for tvvo small glasses of gin and water, which were sent in to the parlour to them ; the young man then came out of the room, and borrowed a knife, for the purpose, as he said, of " cutting a bit of stick ;" he then went for some time into the back yard, and when be returned the knife to the landlady, she ob served that he hung down his head, and appeared much agitated ; there was a notch in the knife when he brought it back ; determined to make him speak, she said, " It is stormy weather ;" to which, after considerable hesitation, he made an unconnected and vague reply ; he then paid for the two glasses of gin -and-water, and he and his com panion both went away, and turned up the road ; when a female saw them turn down Libbett's-lane, the entrance to which is about 8 or 10 yards front the Mason's Arms. Upon reaching the bottom of the lane, where there is a stone stile, another person saw them, and they turned back-up the lane, the young man having his arm behind the woman's back. In a short time, a man, who was at work in a quarry, heard the report of a pistol or gen in the direction of the lane, but, from its being Sept., he took no notice of the circumstance : and in less than an hour from the time of her leav ing the public-house, the unfortunate woman was brought back to it a murdered corpse ! having been found lying dead in the lane, with her gown torn o4' (the hooks and eyes of which were afterwards found in the lane), which, together with her shawl, was gone ; her bonnet had also been removed, and the ribbons torn off it ; but there were evident marks of the shot having passed through it ; her gloves were half off her hands, as if the murderer had at tempted to take them off, but had been disturbed in his purpose. In her pocket was found 4s. 6d., and upon her finger was a gold ring with hair in it. She was found with one leg doubled under her, apparently from her struggles in the agonies of death. It appeared that the deceased was a Mrs. Lewis, who, hearing that her daughter and her hus band were in Bristol, had come from Monmouthshire to see them. The deceased's daughter had resided in Bath as a lady's-maid ; but, a short time since, she married a man named Robert Bartlett, who has been acting as a p , r7ormer in one of the shows (the Sans Pareil Theatre) during the late Bristol Fair ; in which capacity he had very frequently, as is the practice here, fired off the pistol to draw attention to the exhibition. Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, as if by a strange fatality, Bartlett went to the house of Stapleton, where the body was lying, apparently from curiosity, and upon entering the room, before he could see the face of the deceased, he ex claimed, " Good God! it is Mrs. Lewis, my mother-in law," and threw himself upon the chair in a state of great agitation. He then wanted to go away ; but the landlord got him to stay, and sent for the landlady and a Mrs. White, who had been in the room with Bartlett and the deceased, and they both identified him : he was conse quently taken into custody to await the result of the in quest.. It is understood that the deceased was possessed of some property, which would come to him at her de cease. This morning an inquest was held at the Mason's Arms, Stapleton. After a lengthened investigation a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned aga inst Robert Bartlett, and he was accordingly committed by the Coroner to Gloucester Gaol, for trial.

TITHES.--Patrick Lalor, Esq., has received the follow ing circular from the Rev. Mr. Latoucho : Maryborougb, 2d day of September, )836. Sir,—l am directed by the Rev. Mr. Latouc'm to apply to you for the amount of your tithe composition as below, due to him, as Rector of the parish of Cionencgh and Clonaheen, and to request payment without delay ; otherwise I must be under the necessity of proceeding against you for recovery thereof. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, To Patrick Lalor, Esq. THOMAS TURPIN. For the year ending Ist November, 1834 £36 11 0 Do do 1835 36 11 0 £73 2 0 Mr. Lalor not knowing even so much as the place where the Rev. Rector lives who makes this demand for services never received, has addressed to him a letter through the Public Press, from which we extract the following passages : " It is now five years and eight months since I proclaimed to the world, at a meeting held in this county—the High Sheriff in the Chair—that I never would again pay tithes ; that is, that I never would give voluntary cash payments, in lieu of tithe : some thought the expression silly—others thought it vain braggadocio ; but your satellites lost no time in bringing the matter to a test, and my 20 ewes and their lambs were brought to the hammer, to prove how far my re solve would or could be put in practice—it is unnecessary for me to go over all the details that followed—this the first prac tical attempt at what has since been called (by a contradic tion of terms) the passive resistance against tithes—suffice it to put you in mind of the fact, that, at this the first tithe auction in Ireland (under this new experiment), not one bidder Catholic or Protestant, could be found, except your own underling ; not a butcher great or small in the city of Dub lin, could be got to buy them ; not a sales-master would allow them on his standing , ; nor a bit of food would the poor animals get, until they actually died of starvation, some in Liverpool, and the rest of them in Manchester. They arc not the first, nor indeed the last, unoffendinm ani mals that have been offered up as a holocaust to the Moloch of tithes. The soil of Ireland has been often red, not with the blood of sheep and lambs alope, but with that of human beings, sacrificed to support this unholy impost. . Nearly six years ago, I made the resolve, come what would never again to pay one penny tithe ; that resolve remains, more firm, if possible, this day than the day I made it, an experiment has been already made that has failed as re gards you, it has succeeded as regards me, and succeeded much better than perhaps you are aware of. . It is no wonder it should ; the plan is simple and easy of practice ; it is merely to let the law take its course, and indemnify those who suffer unjustly, simply what the people called Quakers do—from them, certainly, I took the hint. We in this parish have not been idle in making prepara tions ; we have now a large sum which, under the good old system, would, Rev. Sir, be in your pocket ; we have now ten thousand five hundred pounds amongst us, which, probably, you would say we had a right to pay you. Now, with such a sum would we not be the greatest fools did we not protect ourselves ? May it not be said with truth, that we can fight the clergy with their own sword ? and so we will. I deny that you have ever given me value to the amount of one half-farthing ; and therefore, that I am not bound justly, in the sight of God or man, to pay you one half-far thing. I know lam legally bound ; but I entirely deny the justice. You, Reverend Sir, and those who clamour against the tithe opposition, always put forward your legal right—no one denies it, but I would like to hear you or them put forward the just right, and hear reasons to sup port it. . . . I never could learn that you have spent 24 hours in the parish since you managed to get the composition entered into, and which I must put you in mind of, was entered into quite contrary to law. Now, give me leave to offer some of the reasons which I might offer was I a member of that church, which I am not. First : I would have recourse to the New Testament, where I find seve ral texts disapproving of an earthly establishment, such as " My kingdom is not of this world ; " " I send you without scrip or staff,' &c., &c., an innumerable other passages to prove that the Divine Founder of our holy and common Christianity never intended one of his ministers should pos sess fifteen hundred pounds a year while St. Paul worked with his hands for his living. But I know, Rev. Sir, you will at once meet me, by quoting a passage to the effect of— " The labourer is worthy of his hire ; " " Let those who tend the altar live by the altar," &c., &c., or words to this effect. I would be glair to know, (acknowledging the force of those passages) what estimate is to be put on your labour in this parish, so as properly to apportion your hire ; you, who never spent a month out-and-out in it in your whole life— I might say a day—and who, for more than six years, never put your. foot in it, that I have ever heard of I But you will say you had curates, who did the duty ; granted, and then 1 say as a Protestant wishing to see the spiritual duties of my religion attended to, you have a right to claim what these curates received, and no more—the labourer is worthy of his hire. On the face of it fifteen hundred a year is too much for doing nothing. I learn that the Pres byterian clergy in Scotland do not on an average receive more than 72/. a year." Guilfoyle, who was marked out for imprisonment at a tithe-suit, simply, it would seem, because he dared to be come a member of the National Association, has been re leased without having paid the tithes or coats for which he was arrested. The grounds of his release are not re vealed ; but one thing is certain, thut Guilfoyle remains unyielding in his determination never to pay one penny of the impost.—Pilot. LOSS OF THE HANNAH. Last Saturday we copied from a Hull paper an appalling account of the sufferings of the crew of the Hannah, of South Shields, which was capsised in the Western Ocean in July last, on her passage from North America for Lon don, with a cargo of timber. We have received a letter from a correspondent, at the port to which the vessel be longed, in which, upon the authority of Hugh Brown, the carpenter of the Hannah, a number of statements are made which impute the most culpable negligence, as to her condi tion previously to starting on the voyage, and the most reckless indifference as to the perils she might encounter in consequence of the manner in which she was laden, in Ca nada. We gather from the letter to which we refer, that the owners and Underwriters are at litigation as to the settlement of the loss. We do not think it would be right, therefore, to give publicity to the state ments to which we have referred, pent.ling the in quiries that are being carried on. Assuming them to be well founded—as we have no doubt they arc—they will have their due weight upon the minds of the parties concerned ; and we must be permitted to absta:n from prejudging a case, upon all the particulars of whi.eh we may not ba fully informed. But there are circumstances connected with the loss of the Hannah, with part of .her ierew, to whch we may direct public attention, without being guilty of any impropriety, as between the parties nterested in the affair ; and with some probability or adding weight to the arguments we have already and frequently employed against the too prevalent method of loading the ships employed in the timber trade. It appears from the narrative of the Hull Advertiser, that the sole cause of the loss theos sof e th ir e cu H m a s n ta n n a c h e , o w f ith he a r llits a tt e ndant calamities , wa cap sizing. " The crew of the Hannah," says the narrator, " before her disaster, consisted of twe l ve persons. One of them was drowned wh en tirr two daysshiphe,ftc and twoapszzed , on the 16th of July. Aft er rema i n i ng on her ibroaasid e , th e surv i vors cut away the nights on topmasts, gtand s she righted, every t hi ng on h er d ec k b e i ng swept awa y : heir provisions and their clothes were gone." What, then, was the cause of the vessel capsizing ? Upon this point, our correspondent furnishes the following informa tion :—" Only 20 tons of ballast was left in her, to steady her, every place being filled with cargo, so much so that, although there were four heights of deals, upon an edge upon deck, every drop of water and bit of provisions, except bread, with her spare sails, and all other stores, were there also. This, of course, made the ship unmanageable, so much so that when other vessels were carrying top-gallant sails, she was compelled to he under close reefed topsails. Indeed, the carpenter is willing to make oath, that if the ship had been in a moderate condition or trim, instead of becoming water logged, and capsising when she did, they c ould have carried top-gallant sails, the weather at that time not being bad." In the loss of the Hannah, then, and the dreadful sufferings of her crew, we have another illustration of the fatal con sequences resulting from the practice of carrying deck-loads —a thing against which we have always protested, as the most fruitful cause of the loss of timber ships. So long as underwriters will permit the practice, so long will it be fol lowed ; but we once more submit to them—apart from all considerations of humanity—whether mere self-interest ought not to induce them to disallowapractice which eo, frequently leads to loss ?—Shi pping Gazette. Afeyerbeer has arrived at Brussels, on his way to Paris, from Spa. Cherubini is sojourning at the Baths. On Tuesday last, the Honourable Adventurers for the drainage of Deeping Fen, held their meeting, at Spald ing, to receive plans, specifications, and tenders for building a new stone bridge over the river Welland, in the place of the present one of wood. Five designs were exhibited. It was ordered that they be laid before an eminent engineer, in order that he may report thereon.—Lincoln Gazette. It may be news to the sentimental reader to be in formed that the English expressions " true love" and " true lover," are not derived from the sentiment or passion love, or from the fidelity of the lover—nor from the Scandinavian synon3m to amor, but from the synonym to lex. Our word love is derived from ice, law, and true from troe, to contract, plight ; so that " troloved," or " trolov," meant originally, contracted or pledged in law; and in old times a man might be a " true lover" to his bond for ten pounds, as well as to his sweetheart.—Lainy's Residence in Norway. i!
